Comment on I've never seen a case like Constance Marten and Mark Gordon's - it was jaw-dropping

His mother was a nurse and they moved to Florid and he ended up committing a stranger rape as a 14 year old and spent 20 years in prison.

She was from a wealthy, aristocratic family (her dad was page boy to Queen Elizabeth II) but went off the rails as a teenager. She was sent to stay at Synagogue, Church of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria. A church who have had a large number of allegations made of systemic physical and sexual abuse.

They met by chance and were living in a tent for some time before they were in temporary accommodation with their 4 children when she was pushed out of the window while pregnant with her 5th causing social services to remove the rest of their children.

It seems to be a pretty tragic case of abuse, mental illness and incompetent and underfunded services that’s resulted in at least one miscarriage, one infant death and 4 children being raised in care.
